Belgian cell manufacturer Photovoltech and its backers GdF Suez and Total have joined the 'open innovation' partnership on wafer-based bulk silicon solar cells and epitaxial cells initiated by IMEC with Schott in June 2009.
'Open innovation' refers to a way of working that 'will bring together silicon solar cell manufacturers, equipment and
material suppliers and is based on a sharing of intellectual property,
talent, risk and cost'. IMEC has experience in such ways of working because of its Industrial Affiliation Program in microelectronics.
